Gymnastics skills are an integral part of Crossfit, and can sometimes prove to be the most challenging to grasp. However, gymnastics in Crossfit is not about being the next Nadia Comaneci, it is nothing more than body movement, a series of skills and drills used in our WODs. Performing gymnastics movements in WODs will improve physical capacity across the identified domains of fitness, particularly our strength, power, flexibility, coordination and agility. As stated by Glassman, "We train our athletes in gymnastics from rudimentary to advanced movements garnering great capacity at controlling the body both dynamically and statically while maximizing strength to weight ratio and flexibility." 

Have you checked out the Crossfit Gymnastics website?? The website is a useful reference for key gymnastics movements, skills, and drills which you may wish to try or learn more about.
